| Filing Codes | I |
ANA Link, Ltd., a non-vessel-operating common carrier
(NVOCC) may tender cargo to other NVOCCs for co-loading at
its option, risk and expense, SBJ to the provisions named
below. For the purposes of this Rule, "Co-Loading" is the
combining of cargo, in the import or export foreign
commerce of the United States, by 2 (two) or more NVOCCs
for tendering to an Ocean Common Carrier (VOCC) under the
name of 1 (one) or more NVOCCs.
1. Under joint carrier-to-carrier co-loading agreements
with other NVOCCs, Carrier may, at its option, tender
all, or any portion, of a Shipper's cargo to such other
NVOCC to provide all, or any portion, of the thru
transportation to destination. Additionally Carrier
reserves the right to tender cargo to other NVOCCs under
a Shipper-to-Carrier relationship to accomplish all, or
any portion, of the thru transportation.
2. It is understood that the tendering of cargo to, and
when applicable the acceptance of a B/L issued by,
another NVOCC for co-loading shall NOT increase, reduce,
alter or otherwise remove Carrier's liability to the
Shipper for the cargo as stated in Carrier's B/L issued
at the time of shipment (See Rule 8), or as provided in
Rule 12 (Ad Valorem Rates).
3. When Carrier tenders cargo to another NVOCC for
co-loading, whether under a Carrier-to-Carrier
agreement, or as a Shipper, the Carrier will place a
notation reading substantially as specified below on the
face of the B/L covering such co-loaded cargo.
"ANA Link, Ltd. has tendered the
cargo moving under this Bill of Lading to (Name of
receiving NVOCC) for co-loading service."
4. The exercising of its option to utilize co-loading
service does NOT alter or relieve Carrier of any
responsibility for the payment of all underlying Carrier
or receiveing NVOCC rates and charges assessed for the
transportation and handling of the cargo from origin to
destination.
